Flip Side is a bit of an institution on Phuket. It’s probably the only join serving up hearty and authentic American fare to hungry islanders, and they do it very well. Only 100% Australian beef goes into their famous burgers, and the bread is home-baked as well! If you don’t get a burger here, you’re doing it wrong. The Flipside Burger is made with juicy flame-grilled patties stacked with caramelized onions, matured Cheddar, and a zingy homemade ketchup between fluffy sesame-seed buns. The Manhattan burger throws in guacamole, crispy bacon, and sun-dried tomatoes for a bit more indulgence, while The Blues Brother introduces some funky blue cheese, undercut with a homemade cranberry and onion marmalade. They’ve got more burger options than you would ever need in life, so come with friends to cycle through as many as possible.

Apart from these heaving sandwiches, they’ve got classic American fare like a punchy BLT Sandwich, a classic American Hot Dog topped with tomato and onion relish, both served in a crispy baguette, as well as a massive Philly Cheese Steak, thin slices of rib eye and grilled onions topped with melted Gruyere. Most places claim they do American food, but unless they’ve got their backs into it as much as these guys, they’re only fronting. This is the real deal, smack in the middle of Phuket, adding some American beach-side vibes to your Thai getaway. (May 2018)
